Taxonomic vandalism

Last updated

Taxonomic vandalism is a term used in biology to describe the practice of publishing numerous [1] scientifically unfounded or poorly-justified taxonomic names, often without adequate research [2] or peer review. [3] [4] This phenomenon has been observed across various fields of taxonomy, but has been particularly prevalent in herpetology. [5] [6] [7]
